Package: multitail
Version: 5.2.13-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed multitail in wheezy shows weird characters if a line
contains the hard tab character. Reproducer:

    printf '\t\n' | multitail -j

Results in (but is slightly different every time):

        ^`^u^^?O.^`^`

with all these characters inverted. Debian stable does fine.

This smells like a out-of-range buffer access so the issue might be a
bit serious, but I didn't check further.

    Christoph
